FEMALE NEXT MARTIAL ARTS FIRES ARE MORE AND MORE COMING ON TO THE -- FIGHTERS ARE MORE AND MORE COMING ON THIS SCENE. WE ARE JOINED THIS MORNING BY ASPEN TO TELL US MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM SHE IS PART OF. INTRODUCE THE REST OF YOUR TEAM. THIS IS JIM WEST, MY HEAD COACH. THAT IS ANTHONY FERNANDEZ, ANOTHER FIGHTER. TELL US HOW YOU GOT INTO THIS -- FEMALE MMA FIGHTER. BY ACCIDENT. I WAS A SHY KID AND NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING. DO YOU FEEL MORE EMPOWERED? CONFIDENT, YES. GOOD WAY TO PUT IT. TELL ME WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS, TRAINING MALE FIGHTERS VERSUS FEMALE? DO YOU HAVE TO ADJUST MOST? ABSOLUTELY NOT. THE TRAINING IS THE SAME. SHE GETS IN THERE, AND SHE PUNCHES WITH ANTHONY JUST AS MUCH ANTHONY WOULD PUNCH ONE OF OUR MALE FIGHTERS. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WEAR A PINK SHIRT? IT IS AWESOME TO SUPPORT BECAUSE I HAVE HAD A LOT OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS WITH BREAST CANCER. HOW HAS THAT AFFECTED YOUR LIFE? IT IS SAID -- SAD. YOU MENTIONED YOU ARE A SHY KID, AND NOW YOU ARE KIND OF THE SPOKESPERSON FOR MMA PINK, A GOOD CAUSE. WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE PART OF SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER? IT MEANS A LOT. IT IS A NEW BRAND, AND 10% OF THE PROCEEDS ARE GOING TO SUPPORT. IT IS GREAT TO SUPPORT SOMETHING THAT HAS MEANING. IT IS A GOOD CAUSE. WHAT IS IT LIKE COMPETING IN A MAIL-DOMINATED SPORT? I THINK IT IS AWESOME. EVERYBODY DESERVES A CHANCE. IT SHOULD NOT BE ANY DIFFERENT FOR ANYONE. YOU HAVE A FIGHT COMING UP? MY NEXT ONE WILL PROBABLY BE IN FEBRUARY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW? DO YOU TRAIN REALLY HARD NOW, OR HOW MANY MONTHS IN ADVANCE? SOME TRAIN FOR A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME. I TRAIN HARD EVERY DAY, AND I WILL BE READY.
